This stage of the Ruta Via de la Plata runs from Posada de Llanera (Llanera) to the coastal city and port of Gijón. It covers approximately 42 kilometres and has an overall elevation gain of 527 metres, making it a stage of moderate difficulty for road bikes.

The route mainly runs along minor and local roads, with a profile that combines gentle climbs and faster downhill sections. The route crosses rural areas and small villages in green and tranquil scenery typical of the interior of Asturias. As you move towards the coast, the landscape opens up and riding becomes easier.

Entrance to Gijón is via the Via Verde de La Camocha greenway, which directly connects to the urban bike lane network, ensuring a safe and pleasant arrival in the city. Although there are no significant hazards during the stage, take extra care at cycle-specific signalised crossings, as they may pose some risk if you do not reduce your speed.

This last part of the route offers an excellent opportunity to enjoy Gijón after a day on the bike through the Asturian landscape. The city, on the coast of the Bay of Biscay, offers an attractive combination of maritime character, monumental heritage, and modern urban planning along the waterfront.

 This stage of the Ruta Via de la Plata starts in the centre of Gijón and ends at Posada de Llanera (Llanera). Covering approximately 42 kilometres with an overall elevation gain of 669 metres, it is a moderate-to-high difficulty stage for road bikes.

You leave Gijón along an urban bike lane, which joins the greenway of La Camocha heading south, making for an easy departure from the city. However, take extra care at cycle-specific signalised crossings, as some may involve danger from vehicle traffic. As you leave the city, the landscape becomes more undulating.

The route mainly runs along minor roads with light traffic, crossing wooded areas and typical Asturian landscapes. The accumulated elevation gain is distributed throughout the stage, with some short but demanding ramps. The combination of tranquillity and beautiful scenery makes this stage an enjoyable experience for road cycling enthusiasts.
